• Explore the village of Pinehurst. Founder James Walker Tufts originally envisioned a beautiful, healthful, New England-style village where the ill could recuperate in pine-scented air and sunshine. Pinehurst began when Tufts purchased 600 acres and commissioned the firm of Frederick Law Olmstead, who designed New York's Central Park, to design Tufts' vision and bring it to life. Many of the original buildings of the village still exist, and some can be toured today.

• Visit the Weymouth Woods Sandhills Nature Preserve, just 15 minutes or so from Pinehurst Resort. It's a remnant of the millions of acres of longleaf pine forests that once covered the southeastern United States. The pines and wiregrass are interspersed with a network of short, easy trails. Take a ranger-led hike and learn about the rare and intriguing species that live here, including the red-cockaded woodpecker, pine barrens tree frog, bog spicebush, fox squirrel, and myriad wildflowers. The visitor center’s museum-quality exhibits explore the longleaf forest, its flora and fauna, and its unique history.

• Head over to the Tufts Archives at the Given Memorial Library in the historic village, across the street from The Holly Inn. It's the primary location of Pinehurst records and memorabilia, and includes a huge collection of pin flags from Donald Ross golf courses, displays, photos, and archives of past events, famous guests, and other historic milestones.
